Do others find it funny that we all have bad beat stories but nobody wants to tell a bad win story? There have been plenty of times I’ve called a big bet, looked at my hand a second time, and thought “now that was a stupid call” and then – boom! – hit on the river where I had no business being in the first place. I’ll take the win any day, but I can also recognize that I got it due to amazing luck that overcame my foolish play. In other words, a “bad win.”

There are no bad wins, especially if it’s me on the winning end.
Here’s me with one of countless “bad wins”. Though I have to agree with Craig that it’s not a bad win if the chips slide my way, LOL.

Wowee, nice betting all the way thru 
I completely miss-remembered the hand I described previously, I checked my hand history, it was not as I remembered, and as I said was very very drunk. The real hand was even uglier than I remembered. If anyone can tell me how to put it up on here you can see for yourself. 
Here’s a hand from last night. 6-handed. Blinds are 100/200.
I am under the gun, and I minraised to 400 with Queens. Both the small blind and the large blind call. All 3 stacks in the pot are roughly the same size.
Flop comes A99 rainbow. I check. SB shoves,BB calls, I fold.
What do you expect to see here? My assumption was that one player had an ace and the other had a nine.
They flipped over their cards. SB had AQ and BB had pocket 8s. On the run out BB spiked an 8 on the river.
Atrocious play all around? This was a 1 million chip buy-in tournament, and the player who won his hand was somebody who I had previously rated as a competitive tournament player. Why shove on the flop with a pair of aces when any 9 has you beat? Why call with 88 when any Ace or 9 or large pocket pair has you beat?
Later on in the tournament I was able to eliminate the same player who won that hand. I had A6 off and the flop came AA6. Opponent made a massive bluff on the river, I reraised him all in, and he called, having paired a queen on the turn.
Moral: Know Thy enemy.
